Propuesta metodológica simplificada de gestión de presiones para la recuperación de pérdidas reales en redes de distribución de agua potable.

Abstract

This graduation project consists about an implementation of a simplified pressure management methodology for the reduction of leakage volumes in drinking water supplies systems. The few data used for this development were measured within the sector under study, represented by the zone named “La Atarazana” belonging to the city of Guayaquil. The measurements made were executed in a period of seven consecutive days, which entered a debugging process, giving as a result a representative 24-hour table. With the applicability of the FAVAD equation, it was possible to determine the real hydraulic behavior of the network, with a fairly accurate pressure -flow proximity level, when executing fixed and active pressure regulations at the input of the supply system. Once the results of the analyzes were obtained, certain important differences and conclusions were determined between these types of regulation in mention.
